I think I dislike this song, but it's been sitting in my bounce folder far too long and something about it still makes me play it from time to time. Maybe you will like it more than I do. the simple lyric is not meant to be interpreted literally…
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow

Yeah I noticed yourself and Tess had done 1 hour tunes but I missed where it all started.
This one is very cool. It's like spaghetti western with a cappacino and candles. ;~))
written, recorded, and poorly mixed in one hour.
Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, fretless bass,
2 tablas, tambourine, rattle, and human body
for snapping, clapping, and vocals.

I love the fact that you are honest about the fact that you're not sure if you like the track. I sometimes feel like that about tracks of mine.
I really like this and actually don't know why you don't like it. It's really got me bouncing along to it...very good.

and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!
Original track by Sister Savage:

I added melodies to the initial track and then Sister Savage
rerecorded the vocals to match the new melody.

There's nothing like hot coffee, and this is nothing like any hot coffee I've ever had (maybe because I don't usually get it in my ears.) The first few seconds made me smile, and as the inventively rich aural brew took over my senses, the smile overflowed my mug. This was a very fun interlude, beautifully beat-chopped and tastefully presented... and as with all coffee, it was over too soon (I'd suggest a teeny bit of a different ending, not so abrupt, perhaps?) Loved this.
Here I attempt to articulate a few distinct feelings of the home, or the affect of cultivating one's own space, or not.
Instrumentation: house keys, pots and pans, long bamboo flute, synth, drum programming, voice(s), and didgeridoo (a real…
Format Sea - Part Two
Based on the age-old concept that a person is born anew every seven years. It's technically meant in terms of physiology - you develop all new bones/muscle/fat in a seven year period. I kind of add a spiritual/alien abduction…
ahhh Kirk, there is a world of darker glu that I've carefully buried here for excavation! This one was made with mandolin and the plucking of piano strings..
08 – Feeling Confuzzzed. Written 19th/20th Feb. Recorded 20th Feb.
Come on Wembley, let’s see those hands in the air. As poppy as they come, including plenty of la la las to sing along with. I was very pleased with my Harrison-style slide…
This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?
aspiring abductee pleas with alien to beam him into her ship.
Just a slight rework from early this year. New mix and vocals sometime in the near future. I'm lazy.
Summer Sadness indeed! But bittersweet sadness is best when captured in a smooth tune like this! I loved instrument-switching when I was in a band. cheers.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
thanks! these are just short brainstorms... you are right, the last one sounds like an ending to a track... Maybe that's what it will eventually become, who knows!
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

Comments on glu's stuff
nice one!
simply beautiful
A very good shimmery theme! (Great build, too...)
Man, I'm gonna have to use that violin bow technique. Very wonderful texture! (And not too damned shabby for an hour of work!) k

I've been really into an 80's, new order style sound lately. This track really does it for me.
yikes! cutthroat! How did you pass me up within a few minutes.. I just checked!
glu takes down w in 4, but i see w reaching out to tag cheney...i'm looking forward to glu vs. cheney...
Lovely stuff. Had me in the first 30 seconds with this one

I love the instrumentation and building vocals, even though its the same line over and over!
I like the vulnerable harmony.
this is like the cool fade out end attached to another great glu tune
Cool groove on this one- great stuff!!
i never know what to expect to hear from a glu song, but its always good stuff and pleasantly surprising in many ways...
Apparently, I need to buy better coffee. Mine is not this inspiring.
So gooooood.
Love the keys! Reminds me of good things I can't quite remember... well done guys, great tune. Sounds like "if Orbital could do sexy"

ahhh Kirk, there is a world of darker glu that I've carefully buried here for excavation! This one was made with mandolin and the plucking of piano strings..
